Description

Taken from the walkway at Pier 39, Fishermans Wharf San Francisco - looking out at Alcatraz - it's bright light shining .... so near, yet so far ....

tv30, f8, iso100, 70-200 lens, tripod, mirror lockup and cable release

I kinda liked how the boats were rocking in the slowly moving waters.
Have a great weekend everyone!

GREAT shot Renee, with terrific lighting and composition! I love to open a photo and instantly recognize the scene, as I certainly did with this. What a clear San Francisco night! And I absolutely love that "star" of light, out there on Alcatraz. Superb! #3124598
